Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where we go on.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Petros will join us at four, Kevin Harlan, five, we
got Brian on the night, Is that right? Schmidt's no
Friday Friday five forty five, Thank you very much, Husky
Hanks at six pm tonight. I will be honest with
you that I am still not all the way back
focus wise from where I was before the Mariner game
on Monday night. I know that because I got off

(00:23):
the elevator today and I went to the wrong floor. Okay,
I punched at number three when I should be at
number four, and I got off at number four, and
I took a left instead of a right. So I
am still a little bit of a mess. And I
will tell you this right now. And I told this
to Jess and the and during cross talk, and Jackson
can can confirm this. A little bit of a behind
the scenes intel for you here. The Petros Papadocus segment

(00:47):
that you hear every day at four o'clock is usually recorded,
and there's a reason for that. Number one, he drops multiple.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Left bombs, that's reason.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
And number two, his show with Matt Smith in la
is on the same time we are, so he's on
the air. I think at two o'clock every day and
they go from two to five or two to six
or whatever. Their show fluctuates with Dodgers on Dodger Game, right,
So we we typically do record that. I will say this,
if you ever hear a Petros interview with us, and
you don't hear anything bleeped out, you can pretty much

(01:21):
assume it's live.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
So we talked to Petros today for the four o'clock segment,
and I will just say this, and Jackson, if you
want to jump in and offer you any take go ahead.
If you would like to continue to hold Petros some
high regard, if you would like to continue to respect Petros,
if you would like to continue to enjoy the Petros

(01:43):
very popular Papadoctus segment every Wednesday at four o'clock. And
if you don't feel like punching a hole through a
plate glass window at four o'clock today, I would recommend
not tuning in at four o'clock this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
So there is a difference between wanting ill will and
wanting to just absolutely turn the knife and then just
wanting to be the funny guy. And I'm not gonna
tell you which one Petros is. At four o'clock. That's
for you to decide, Dick. And for everybody out there.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
You haven't heard it. I haven't heard it. You have not. Yeah,
so listen.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
All I'm saying is it's along that line somewhere of
trying to be the funny guy but also trying to
really piss us off.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
And I'm not trying to piss us off. Well, you
think what's this related to?

Speaker 5 (02:30):
You?

Speaker 6 (02:31):
Find out?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, I mean, I gotta get something out of this.
If I had to sit there and listen to this
for twenty minutes today, you've been damn sure I'm getting
something out of it.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Dick. We're gonna have to decide I'm getting something out
of it.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Petro, Petro, Petros may have to go stand in the
corner for a while.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Did you ever stand in a corner when.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
You were a kid in like elementary school or preschool.
I did it all the time. I had to go
to time out. They would call it time out. David
goes stand in time out, and I would go stand
in that corner with my head against the wall literally
like that.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
And you know, my aed, yes, you know how hard
that is for me to do.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Horrible, okay, horrible so our guy may need a time
out after today.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I mean I usually listen to these sometimes doll have
to go in the other room and do some work
during that segment and record some things. Today I'm listening
to every single word because it sounds like I need
to be judge, jury and maybe even executioner in the
segment after.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
You might you might need to be man, you might
be the hangman you. Honestly, we might need to get
you a hood. I'm not kidding you a scythe Yes, yes, we.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
May need it.

Speaker 7 (03:41):
Man.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I mean this, I mean Petros might be like, you
know what, Williams freedom before his head gets cut off.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I'm totally intrigued. I have no idea what this is all.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Wow, you'll find out A four. Let's get to Mike
Florio right now each.

Speaker 8 (03:56):

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Our friend from Pro Football Talk dot com.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
The NFL at NBC, the heavyweight champ, the undisputed king
of all NFL media, Our friend Michael Florio.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
How are you, pal?

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Gentlemen? Buttholes, how are you?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
But we are good?

Speaker 7 (04:47):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I gotta tell you what, man.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I was a little bit proud of Russell Wilson for
going after Sean Payton. I was like, you know what,
that's very unlike you. You broke character. But good for you, man.
Don't take any crap off Sean Payton. Sean Payton came
out after the Giant Denver game and said they were
kind of hoping to see Russell Wilson instead of Jackson dark.
He said it indirectly, obviously, and then Russell Wilson called

(05:12):
him classless man.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
So I loved it.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I thought it was beyond time that Russell Wilson stand
up for himself.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
How about you?

Speaker 6 (05:18):
Oh, he invoked the bounty scandal from twenty twelve that
was Russell Wilson's rookie year. Look, this guy has been
a very carefully cultivated, manatured media presence. There was a
report years ago of him doing pretend press conferences when
he was a kid, and he's never ever ever broken

(05:40):
tree from that. He's never given us a real human moment,
And I think what happened was he's feeling it. Look
at that game from a couple of Thursday nights ago
when Jackson Dart was getting a concussion evaluation, and the
fans were immediately restless at the idea of Russell Wilson
entering the game, and then Brian Daball gets the whole
team in trouble for trying to find out out.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Quickly is Dark going to be back?

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Because, as Dave Boll said after the game, had a
fourth down decision coming up, and if Darts coming back,
I'm going to call a time out and go for it.
The implication being there's no way in hell I'm going
to go.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Forward with Russell Wilson. So that one little extra straw
broke the camel's back.

Speaker 6 (06:14):
And it got the very predictable, very by the book
very say what everyone expects you to say, Russell Wilson
to drop the facade for a second and let us.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Know there's a real human being in there.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
And that's refreshing because I was starting to wonder, I mean,
this age of AI.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Maybe he would the original chat spot. I don't know,
but yeah, I'm fine with it because I like that stuff.
It's good for business start up a little bit.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
I only wish it had happened before the game between
the Giants and the Broncos.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, Mike.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
The Miami Dolphins were at worst supposed to be respectable
this year and it best supposed to be a playoff
team this year. They have beaten the New York Jets,
and that's it. That's all. Why does Mike McDaniel and
you'll still have a job.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
Well, first of all, I am rarely accurate about anything,
and I will gladly wear that because the business of
trying to figure out what's going to happen in the
NFL is a minefield and nobody ever really knows. But
I had a very strong feeling based upon the messages
emanating from the Dolphins before the season that it was
going to be a disaster because they always talk and

(07:22):
they talk about what's going to be different.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
We're going to change this, We're going to change the culture.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
As I've said multiple times, it reminds me of the
guy who says I'm going to start going to the
gym every day tomorrow, and he never goes and he
never changed.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
And I thought this could go very poorly. Now.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
I had some games early on that maybe could have
gone the other way. But once the snowballs started to
go here we are and they hit their low point
on Sunday against the Browns, I thought that Mike McDaniel
and GM Chris Career could be fired. The next day,
early Monday morning, work came out from NFL media that
no changes are expected at this time. I think that
at some point we have to wonder whether or not
owner Stephen Ross is just letting things go, because we know,

(08:02):
based upon allegations from former Dolphins coach Brian Flores, that
Ross offered one hundred thousand dollars per loss in twenty
nineteen when they're trying to get in a position to
get Joe Burrow now Ross said it was a joke.
I still haven't found the punchline three years later. But
this is a guy who I think looks at a
lost season and seeses an opportunity to get the highest.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Possible draft pick in the NFL. Doesn't like people talking
about that.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
They want to keep a firewall between being bad and
having a prime spot in the draft order. But it's
a real temptation. It's a real business reality of the NFL.
If you're not going to make the playoffs anyway, why
not lay the foundation to get a potentially transformational player the.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Next year in the draft.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
So I just wonder whether or not he's kicking his
can because he likes the fact that with the season
basically done from a playoff perspective, let's go ahead and
be as bad as we can and get the best
possible player next year.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Mike, I'm looking at the Indianapolis Colts and they've got
a point differential of plus ninety two, which is twenty
eight points better than any other team in the NFL.
And I'm just wondering how long this can last. And
if they were a stock, would you be investing in them?
Would you be shorten them short selling Indianapolis. What's your
take on where they go from here.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Well, there's always a correction, but it doesn't mean it's
guaranteed to be inevitable. They could keep this rolling. I
think one big key is the ongoing health of Daniel Jones.
Very early in the season, I think it was all
the way back in Week one he got blown up
by Matthew Judon of the Dolphins.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
That was the team that they dismantled.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Right out of the gate.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
You get hit the wrong way at the wrong time,
and all of a sudden, it's Riley Leonard the rookie
at quarterback because Anthony Richardson's on injured reserve due to
a pregame mishap with an elastic band, and that is not.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
A product of madlets exercise, that is true.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
So I think the key is Daniel Jones staying healthy.
And also as we get deeper into the season, there's
more tape out there that defenses can use to try
to crack the code on what the Colts are doing
well and try to counter it. So it's always incumbent
on a team that's having success to I'll scout and
stay ahead of its own trends and tendencies and break
them so that they're not predictable and they don't come

(10:06):
against up against the defense that knows exactly how to
shut it down. But the rushing game is great with
Jonathan Taylor, he's back to being the best running back arguably.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
In the NFL. Daniel Jones has resurrected his career.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
And here they got at six and one, and let's
see how the rest of the season plays out. But
seven games in, you get six wins in this league,
you're looking pretty good for the postseason.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Mike, that Seahawks game kicked off at ten to fifteen
your time on Monday night. Are we going to continue
to see these double headers on Monday?

Speaker 5 (10:35):
Well, apparently with this ESPN NFL Mega media merger.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
The extra games that have ended up being double headers
on ESPN get sent back to NFL Network and ESPN
inherit the early morning London.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Madrid Perlin game.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
But that doesn't stop NFL Network from doing a simultaneous
doubleheader with ABC slash ESPN. And so I don't think
that that automatically ends it. If they want to do it,
they're going to do it, and they want to get
this maximum number for the overlapping double headers.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Which I hate when people are watching either game.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
I don't know the purpose of the back to back
double header other than it takes six full hours of
programming or six and a.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Half, as the case may be. On Monday, that was
a long That was a long night, and I went
through this dilemma like if I go.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
To bed, all hell is going to break loose in
this game, and if I stay up to watch the
end of it, it's going to be a fight to
stay awake.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
I chose to watch it all and there were some
interesting moments.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
But that is a long, long Monday after a long,
long Sunday of football. But as long as they think
that there's going to be a significant audience in one.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Of those windows, more significant than.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
What happens when you throw a game in with the
cluster of other games at one o'clock and four o'clock
Eastern on.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
A Sunday, they're going to do it. They're gonna do it.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
They're always looking from wardways to stuff cheese into the
crust of the pizza, and this is one.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Way to do it.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Mike is the NFL pass Pete Carroll by.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
I don't know, I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
I think he landed in the spot where the roster
isn't good enough, and they made some bad decisions. They
didn't want rewind to right around the scouting combine when
it looked like Matthew Stafford might actually leave the Rams,
although in hindsight that seems to be a ploy aimed
at getting the most he could by way of a
contract moving forward. But both the Giants and the Raiders

(12:23):
thought he would leave, and the Raiders went all in
to try to get him, and then once that didn't
work out. You know, there were reports that broke from
the Friday of Combine weeks that Tom Brady and John
Spytech aren't interested.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
In any of the available veterans, and the coaching staffs
didn't want any of the rookies.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
And that may have resulted in the compromise to do
the reunion with Gino Smith and Pete Carroll.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
But they could have had Sam Darnold, they could have
had Daniel Jones, they had other options that they didn't want.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
So they've made some bad decisions from a roster standpoint,
and also brock.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Bowers has been injured for most of the year. That's
not helpful. He was so good last year for a
team that wasn't very good.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
But it really is crazy to see where they are
right now and how bad they were against the Chiefs.
And you know, one of the aberrations last year once
we got to the end of the season was the
Patriots somehow beating the Bengals week one. The Raiders somehow
beating the Patriots week one is going to be the thing.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
That we look at when the season ended. How the
hell did that happen?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Yeah, well, they can improve their roster really quickly if
they do what the Cowboys did with Micaeh Parsons, and
that's trade Max Crosby.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Do you think Max Crosby is on this team in
a month?

Speaker 6 (13:26):
Well, it was strange how yesterday unfolded. I think it
was Trey Wingo that reported the Cowboys that inquired about
Max Crosby, which prompted the Raiders to communicate director to Crosby,
we're not shopping you, we're not trading you.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Part of the report also was that Crosby doesn't want
to leave. I don't know about that.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
If he had an opportunity to go play for a
Super Bowl contender, he might think twice about it, because
he's been with the Raiders long enough to realize that
whatever we try to do, it's it's not working. I
think that there are only so many truly untradeable players
in the NFL. Now I would have thought Michael Parsons
was one of them. Yeah, so you know, the list
may not be very reliable. But I don't think Max

(14:02):
Crosby is untradeable. If Michael Parsons wasn't, I don't think
Max Crosby is the question of whether or not there's
a team out there that sees the opportunity, is willing
to give the Raiders what they want is a team
that Max Crosby will happily go play for. Because even
if you don't have a no trade cause if you're
a key player and you don't want to go somewhere
like why are you going.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
To do this?

Speaker 6 (14:20):
So there's a lot of moving parts, and there's still
two weekends of games before the trade deadline comes, so
teams that may not be buyers right now to become
buyers and highly motivated buyers. I don't rule out the possibility,
and I never believe the reports and the public claims
that we have no intention.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
To trade a player.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
How that's how Percy Harvin ended up with Seahawks all
those years ago.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Like two days after.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
The Viking said we have no intention to trade Percy Harvin,
Percy Harvin was gone.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Roger Goodell came out and said, we're not gonna remove
bad money from the Super Bowl halftime show. I don't
care what the President thanks, I don't care what people
think he's doing it. Do they even remotely consider doing
something like that?

Speaker 6 (15:00):
I don't think you quite put it that way. They're
in a difficult spot here because they need governmental approval
of that ESPN mega media deal that will have the
NFL ultimately own ten percent equity in ESPN. I think
that it was out of character for the NFL to
do something that would be a political issue that would
alienate a certain political demographic that won't like the idea

(15:23):
of bad Bunny being the halftime performer.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
And it does complicate.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
Potentially, It's just another issue that someone in the government
could point to and say, we shouldn't.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
Approve this deal.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
They foisted on two Americans a performer that they shouldn't have.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
I could see that kind of thing happening, and the
other reality too.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
They've announced this what is it, turning Point USA, They've
announced that they're going to have an alternate halftime. You know,
if a major network picks that up, and it's easy
enough to grab your remote and switch from NBC to
whichever network has that halftime show, it could eat.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Into that number.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
And remember the reason the NFL goes with the star
stud at halftimes. Now nineteen ninety two when Fox programmed
a live twenty minute edition of In Living Color to
go up against Super Bowl halftime and siphoned away a
large chunk of the audience.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
And next year it was Michael Jackson.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
So they they and they've done ever since then a
big act to keep that audience together and build it.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
And I think last year it actually was larger. There
have been years where the audience averages larger at halftime
than it is for the rest of the game.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Wow, Michael, you're the man. Great stuff. We'll talk in
a week. So you got all right, Mike Florio with us.
We'll come back next segment. Factor Fiction brought you by
the Lucky Eagle Casino. Jackson has survived the week he's asked, yes,
he comes back and does it again.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
We call the governor and they said not yet, not yet.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
You get kid gets one more shot, Factor Fiction, your
shot at one thousand dollars. Coming next on ninety three
three KJRFM from.

Speaker 9 (16:54):
The R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now back
to Softie and Dick on you Home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ R FM.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
All Right, Factor Fixing, Braught to you by the Lucky
Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day feels Lucky Punk
Coming up at three thirty five. Jackson won a game,
so he gets to come back. We talked about it
a week ago. Man, we're gonna give the kid every
shot to make up for it, and he came through
with the under in the Browns Dolphins game, so he
gets to make another pick today.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well, he's a high draft pick. I mean, if he
was a seventh rounder, he'd have been gone long ago,
no question. Since we invested in such a high draft
pick in him, we're giving him extra change.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Oh, he's got a five year contract, right, so he's
not going anywhere. So we could cut the guy's ass
for minimal cap damage.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
We would have done it.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Here's the thing, Petros at four again, I'm telling you,
if you want to continue, if you do hold Petros
on high regard already, maybe you don't, maybe you think
he's a son of a bitch, then no problem. But
if you love Petros, you want to continue to love Petros,
I would not tune in at four o'clock today, especially
if you're a Mariners face.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Really, it's interesting the way you're very, very careful.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Because now I'm sort of thinking that for people who
already have an idea of Petros. If people don't like Petros, yes,
they're gonna think he's intentionally being a I guess yeah,
if you think Petro's is funny, and you like Petro's,
you're probably gonna think he's just being funny your preconceived
notion of who Petros is.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
I don't know in interview. Tough position here because I
like Petros. So you're telling people that like Petro's not
to listen, and I have to listen.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
You're forcing my not like him. I have to be
in the judge jury.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Execution, might not like him after four. Well, you know,
I gotta tell you. We got a couple minutes here,
and this real quick. We'll discuss this more obviously today,
But I just keep going back to Monday night's game,
you know, kind of in a malaise still, you know,
just bummed out beyond belief. It's been a hard couple
of days after Monday's game, and I just keep thinking
to myself today, like like every day, every hour almost
I have a different topic in my brain regarding the

(18:54):
game on Monday, And the topic in my brain the
last couple of hours has been what if Dan Wilson
just did what everybody wanted him to do and went
from George Kirby to Brian Wu to Andres Munnos. Right,
It's like you ever see the original Anchor man, of
course you have when Chris Parnell looks at Ron Burgundy and.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Says, why Ron, why did you do that? Why did
you do that?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
And he storms off. Yeah, it's like Jack Say's one
of them. You want to look at Dan Wilson and
you want to.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Why did you do that?

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Dan?

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Why?

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Why didn't you just do what everybody wanted you to
do and go from George Kirby to Brian Wu to
Andres Munno's And can you promise me you you can
you promise me that if he had done that and
they still lost the game, that you would have been
okay with it.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yeah, Because the simple truth is I have the issue
with two things. A bringing in a guy who pitched
two innings the day before and down five nothing right, right, right?
And then also walking Springer. If you bring in Munos,
there was the pitcher arguments, and yet if you pitch munyos.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
To Springer, little different. There have as much of the
problem with that. Did what everybody? What if? What if
Pete Carroll handed the ball to Marshawn?

Speaker 7 (20:05):
Oh no?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
And what if Dan Wilson just did what everybody.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Wanted him to do? Because there's a lot of hindsight
going on.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
You know that this is gonna be a documendous No,
it's not, so, I know it's not. If you want
to do it, you do it when I'm gone. I'm
not taking I'm not taking part in that of you
kidding me?

Speaker 1 (20:24):
My god?

Speaker 5 (20:24):
All right?

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Factor fiction brought to you by the Lucky Eagle. Right now,
where's that to go?

Speaker 10 (20:29):
Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand price. It's
Factor fiction probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
where every Day Feels Lucky. Factor fiction is on Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ r FN.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
All right, here we go a big thanks to our
friends at the Lucky Eagle Casino in a hotel. They're
going twenty four baby every Friday and Saturday. Twenty four
hour gaming starts November seventh at Lucky Eagle Dot. We're
making a run here, guys. All right, this is a
crucial time in this contest. We need to make our move, okay,
and it starts with you, Jackson, riding a winning streak.

(21:10):
You're on a one game winning streak. Let's make it two.
What do you got so? First up, I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
We need to make our move on other shows and
there's a chance here to gain a game on the
morning show here now. Last week I said that the
Cleveland Browns offense was trash. They proved me right. Their
offense is trash. This week, I am continuing to say
that they are trash, and they're up against a Patriot
team that.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
I don't know how good that offense is.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
And when they faced a good defense, the Patriots offense
hasn't done that well. The Cleveland Browns New England Patriots
over under is forty and a half.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, this morning, Ashley took the over.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
I am taking the under because that Browns team may
not score ten points and I don't think the Patriots
score more.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Than twenty three. Okay, what's the number again?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's forty and a half. Forty and a half and
a half. You like the under in that game? Text
in fact if you hate it, you text in fiction
to four nine, four, five to one right now. And
by the way, Jackson, when I say make our move,
I make a move. I'm make a move to put
everybody behind us because we have officially now overtaken the
lead in fact or fiction.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
And here's the story. And I'll be totally honest with you.
I don't want to be.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Cocky, but it's true. We're in the lead because of
me and Dick. We are sixteen and ten. You are
holding us back to help you. You are the millstone
around our neck with a one in four records.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
So if you can just.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Wake up, yeah, we got a chance to put these
people in our dust.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Baby, So under forty and a half is the play?

Speaker 5 (22:41):
You like it?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Fact? You hate it fiction to four nine, four to
five One.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, Jackson and I were taking a look at what
Drake May has done against good defenses, and first and foremost,
he hasn't played a lot of good defense.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
One.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
I mean yeah, but I mean.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
They've played They've played Vegas and Miami and Buffalo's defense
in New Orleans and Tennessee. They've played a lot of crap.
So the Patriots might not be that great. Yes, I
can see you twenty to fourteen twenty three fourteen type
game right here, all.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Right under forty and a half in the Patriot Browns
game You like you text in fact you hated you
text in fiction to four nine four to five one.
All brought to you by our friends at the Lucky
Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every day feels lucky. Get
those picks in right now and again. You get one
pick right a week on any show, including ours. Every
day three thirty five we give you a pick. You
get one pick right a week. You got twenty opportunities.

(23:29):
All you gotta do is go one for twenty. I
think the standard is way too low, but hey, that's
just me, right. I think you should have to get
at least multiple picks right to be in the hopper
for the thousand bucks.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
But I don't make the rules. I should, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Four nine, four to five to one factor fiction, the
under forty and a half and the Browns Patriot game
is the selection? All right, little fun with audio, and
then Petros pisses off everybody at four on ninety three
to three KJRFM, It's.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Now time for Dick's fun with audio. Jimmy g pawn Star,
Jimmy mister garoppolo. Now let's have some fun with audio.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
All right, Petros Papadagas, I guess coming up at four
right here on ninety three to three KJRFM. For those
that don't know what's going on, you'll find out what's
going on at four o'clock.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
So you tell me.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
If Petros deserves to be in a little bit of
a timeout situation after his upcoming performance at four o'clock.
All right, because I got some I got a response
already lined up for four to thirty, by the way,
so tune in at four.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Courtesy a sweet Jay. Did you practice in the mirror? No,
not at all.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
No, I don't need to know this is I've been
pretty consistent with this theme for a long long time.
You've been the victim of it as a matter of
fact on this radio show before. So we'll explain to
four thirty. All right, here we go a little fun
with audio slash. Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick,
did you happen here?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
What's that? Dick?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
There's an ongoing war of words happening between these sax
State and Montana football programs who play Friday. I've never
been more interested in the sax State Montana game that
I am now. Started when sax State president Luke Wood
said that FCS football is just JV football and then
went on an ESPN Plus broadcast and called Montana's football

(25:14):
team the Pandas.

Speaker 11 (25:16):
I mean, we're looking forward to playing the Montana Pandas.
Oh wait, I'm sorry. Look at Montana Grizzlies. Grizzlies.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
I think that's their their their their name rank.

Speaker 11 (25:24):
Yeah, so you know they're they're certainly a great team,
but they haven't played nobody to cease them.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
I mean, let's just.

Speaker 11 (25:31):
Be real, right, like the stir up and I like
to stir it up, but I mean, I mean, in
an alferns, we all appreciate Sacred Heart. That was their
last game and they didn't.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Be very good against them.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Okay, so they've played South Dakota State, Nevada, Mercy Hurst,
wherever the hell that is, Central Arkansas, cal Poly, Weber,
and Northern Colorado.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
So who the hell have they played? For crying out loud.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Well, we'll just keep it here because the war awards
continued over the weekend when Montana head coach Bobby Hawk
friend Rabbielizel's old special teams coach at U Dub twelve
men at Michigan. Our buddy Bobby was asked about Wood's
comments at a press conference and proceeded to call the
sax Date president a clown.

Speaker 12 (26:17):
Yeah, we're where their president called us the JV, So
we're where. We'll deal with that as need to be
on Saturday or Friday night.

Speaker 13 (26:26):
So yeah, we saw it. The guy's kind of a clown.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Right whatever. As outside noise, you know.

Speaker 5 (26:36):
That's how we approach it.

Speaker 12 (26:37):
You know, if I was the president down there, I'd
be more worried about the riot that happened in their
stadium after the game and conning Montana.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
So what is going on here? Is this just two.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Guys that got together and said, you know what, let's
pump this thing up on Friday night, brilliant ONESPN two.
We're going up against the World Series. What the hell?

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Well?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Then Sacramento State's head coach Brennan Marion tried to defuse
the press conference of the situation at a press conference yesterday,
but after that, President would struck again when he went
on ESPN thirteen twenty in Sacramento and said this in
response in response to Bobby House calling him a clown.

Speaker 14 (27:18):
He really needs to be more worried about the fact that,
you know, I'm worried about whether or not there's gonna
be good attendance because Montana's not traveling well this season.
You know, they played one way game. The only seventy
six hundred people showed up to that to that away game,
including the home team. So it's not an indication that,
you know, Montana is traveling well. So they should probably

(27:39):
be worried about that. They should probably be worried about
whether or not fans are tuning into the games.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Isn't Montana like the krem de la Creme of FCS football?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, then in the North Dakota, what is he talking about?
Like where did this start? Is this again?

Speaker 5 (27:53):
This chain?

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Is this Greek of marketing? Yes, it seems to try
and we're falling for it. We are, We're playing all
the It just seems like they're pupping this thing up.
And guess what I'll be doing Friday at seven thirty
if I'm home, abs a fricking.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Lutely, I'll be turning this football game on.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
I would just ask doctor Luke Wood, who, by the way,
looks like he's twelve years old.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
I saw that.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Why are you caring about the attendance for a road team?
It seems like the weird dude Montana is not gonna
travel well, is right?

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Why are you even smoking?

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Well?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
It would?

Speaker 2 (28:27):
It just it really seems like a marketing ploy and
it seems like kind of a weak attempt at one
that the biggest insult he can throw them is to
call them the Pandas and not the Grizzlies and then
be make fun of how much they travel to the
road game.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
How hard it is to give Montana to any road game.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Somebody, somebody needs to teach doctor Wood smack talk one
on one, Yeah, because that ain't it, you know what
I mean? If I'm doctor Wood, I'm like, you know what,
hope bober doesn't have twelve guys on the field like
it did in two thousand and one in Michigan.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
I'd love to see doctors. We could have given him
all kinds of ammunition.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
His fantasy football group chat and like how he behaves
in that.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
God, boy, you're going to lose this week. He's uh, which, buddy, we.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Should actual knew Heizel about it when he comes on
on Thursday, because he would have a take on this.
He just it's like weird. But again, I'll be watching. Look,
I'd rather watch that than watch the World Series.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Rightly, by the time that game starts, the Dodgers already
up seven to one.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Who absolutely, all right, did you happen here? What's that?

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Dick?

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Kendrick Perkins was on Sports Center last night previewing the
slate of NBA Opening Night games. Before he left, Perkins
dropped a joke to host Ellie Duncan.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Well done, which you need not be proful for when
you have a perk.

Speaker 11 (29:55):
I literally can't stand you and I love you coming up.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
So what happened was was she was she offended by that?

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Was she trying to just kind of pass it off
as that was a lame joke and there's no need
to even respect talking about ibuprofen versus like a percocet. Right,
But he says his name is Perk Perkins, Like, what
do you know I've profn for When you got a park,
you got me, I'm park percocet silence for. I thought
when I first heard that, and I saw that on

(30:24):
social media, I thought he was making like some sexual
innuendo joke, and El Duncan was like, all right, that's
uncomfortable and uncalled for.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
So I mean, I don't I don't think that's the case.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
But who do I do that makes sense? I don't
know what's happening in her head.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I got no idea.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
I know I haven't seen the video. The video, I
understand it's a little creepy.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
I guess now I'm not depraved wondering go back and
watch the video again.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
I just looked at her response to it like she
was almost offended she did he said that, And then
now that I hear it, I don't think it was
any kind of innuendo. But but I don't know what
she's thinking. Text line needs to tell us how yeah,
you tell us people that have been the victim of
sexual innuendo? Uh, text us to four nine four one

(31:13):
and tell us what you make of that. I think
one more here, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?
What's that?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Dick? De Andre McKenzie is an Instagram personality. Okay? Never
heard of him? Neither? Or is it a she? By
the way, just keep reading Okay.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Known for talking to fans walking into and out of
stadiums before and after games. In a recent video, he
caught up with a young Jets fan who was not
happy after New York's thirteen to six home loss to
the Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Don't see if I get your thoughts on the game.
I hate this team.

Speaker 13 (31:45):
I was born into this and I'm not gonna ever.
I'm always a Jets fan, but like I just I
hate this tame of it. God, it just reminds me.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Of my cousin. Evans is the same. He's a Jeff
fan because of his dad. It of how I felt.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
I sat there next to my son at the Seahawks
game after the Mariners had lost, and I looked at
him and I was just like, why did I do
this to him?

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Why did I do this to him?

Speaker 7 (32:17):
I made him a Mariner fan, and he's gonna be
a Mariner fan for life, and he's gonna have to
go through like twenty five more of these years that
we did in his life.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Do you wish he could go back? What do you mean,
if you could go back in time, right now and
find a way when you're a kid to become a
fan of a different team, would you do it?

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Well?

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Is there a legitimate reason or did I just hate them?
I just say the Mariner sucks. I'm gonna follow somebody.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
For example, when I was fourteen, thirteen years old, I
was a huge Mark McGuire fan, you know, that huge
McGuire fan. So maybe in elementary school I saw kid
wearing a Dodger fan or whatever, I fell in love
with them. I mean, and you know, you wouldn't even
know because you're doing it when you're a kid, obviously,
But if you could go back right now, change history

(33:08):
and be a fan of a different team, would you
do it? I think a lot of people would say, yeah,
probably it's been too painful if there's a legitimate reason
for it, and it's not just because well, Mariners suck.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
I'm going to decide to root for this team, which
I've always thought is.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
A little man.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yes, find a way, inevitably when you're a kid, to
run into a different wall as a fan, all right.
Petros Papadacus god Darn joins next on ninety three to
three KJRFM.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
I just I hate the same
